After completing "Into the Nighthold" (20 Nightshards) and "The Nighthold: Delusions of Grandeur" (100% quest drops from Trillax and Elisande), you are offered "The Nighthold: Darkness Calls" to defeat Gul'dan on Normal difficulty or higher, which leads to this quest, finally unlocking the 3rd row appearance for your artifact.

Just completed this after collecting 20 Nightshards, killing Gul'dan, and completing the ritual in Moonguard Stronghold.. It is not account wide unlocked sadly. This will take a lot of time for people that want the appearances on all their characters they play. It is unfortunate because I want them on my alt Demon Hunter, but I am fine with that, my rogue now has his cool assassination daggers.

This is the last quest in the chain!

Can you get the eyes even if you already killed gul'dan?

IntroductionThis quest is part of a comment-size guide for "Balance of Power." questline (the last quest...finally). Quests are pretty much self-explanatory and all it takes is some time and good will to complete them. Completing this questline rewards Artifact Appearance (Appearance 3, Tint 1).

Part 1Image of Kalec appears in your Order Hall and gives you the following quest:The Power Within (Meet Archmage Kalec at Azurewing Repose in Azsuna.)Reasons behind appearance of Archmage Kalec in your Class Order Hall are not yet completely understood but most people noticed him few days after they completed their Class Campaign.

Part 2From there you take a next quest from Senegos:The Heart of Zin-Azshari (Retrieve the Heart of Zin-Azshari and defeat the Wrath of Azshara in the Eye of Azshara on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 3After completing the previous quests you receive a few new quests (exactly 3: two from Senegos and one from Archmage Kalec).Senegos:A Vainglorious Past (Obtain a Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon.) - You can purchase Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon in Crumbled Palace in Azsuna for 150g (Requirement: Court of Farondis - Honored).

Fallen Power (Recover a Corrupted Essence from Oakheart and defeat the Shade of Xavius in Darkheart Thicket on Mythic difficulty.)

Archmage Kalec:Tempering Darkness (Obtain 30 Blood of Sargeras.)Should not be a problem since by the time you get that quest and if you did not spend any Blood of Sargeras you should have some stacked up simply by completing Dungeons and World Quests.

Part 4Archmage Kalec:Lucid Strength (Absorb the power from the Corrupted Essence using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)Right next to you.

Part 5Senegos:The Wisdom of Patience (Await the opening of The Emerald Nightmare, then report back to Senegos in Azsuna.)

Part 6Archmage Kalec:In Nightmares (Obtain a Deathglare Iris and the Horn of the Nightmare Lord from The Emerald Nightmare.) NOTE: NOT doable with LFR. It has to be Normal difficulty or higher. In order to complete this quest you need to kill 2 bosses: Il'gynoth and Xavius and loot mentioned quest items.

Senegos:Essence of Power (Collect 30 Corrupted Essence from The Emerald Nightmare.) This quest gave me a weird WoD and Khadgar flashback. NOT doable with LFR. Only Normal or higher difficulty. Essences do not have a 100% drop rate and bosses can drop 1-5 Corrupted Essences at the time.

Part 7Senegos:Essential Consumption (Absorb the combined power of the Corrupted Essences using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)Right next to you.

Part 17Ashildir:Odyn's Blessing (Obtain Odyn's blessing in the Halls of Valor on Heroic or Mythic difficulty.)- Use Grand Feast of Valhallas when you enter the dungeon - at the start. You can enter the dungeon alone, put the feast down, get out and then get a group to defeat Odyn and get his blessing. After you defeat him wait for him to finish his speech (RP) and then you can collect his blessing on the loot chest.

Part 18Archmage Kalec:Planning the Assault (Await the opening of the Nighthold, then meet Archmage Kalec in Shal'Aran.)

Part 19Archmage Kalec:Into the Nighthold (Collect 20 Nightshards from the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Thalrenus Rivertree:The Nighthold: Delusions of Grandeur (Collect the core of Trilliax and Grand Magistrix Elisande's Millennia Tome in the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 20Archmage Kalec:Balance of Power (Absorb the combined power of the Nightshards and the Eye of Gul'dan using the Heart of Zin-Azshari at the Lunar Crucible.)

Congratulations on completing this questline and acquiring new Artifact Appearance. Enjoy!Foxies, out.

As for the actual quest, use the portal to Moonguard Stronghold, then run to the very top past all the mobs. As you get to the end you will phase and the mobs chasing you will disappear. Just follow the RP instructions, click on the thingy twice and enjoy your new achievement! Be ready for a screenshot too.

Also worth noting you can get there by flying to Obsidian Overlook in Highmountain and gliding down.

The related achievement is Improving on History, which contains a full quest chain in the comments (including some that are missing here) as well as a line by line script you can run to find out where your character is up to in the quest chain.

Once again, Kalec simply leaves without even considering just giving you a lift to the destination. Seriously, every time this chain progressed with Kalec saying "I'll meet you there" I would start fuming that I had to walk while he would just blink there.

To anyone who unlocked this: Can you please tell me if it is account bound?

Comentado por Freeozy

I wonder when blizzard do PvP based artifact questline. Asking for 1500 rating for instance.

EDIT : Too many dislikes. But believe me 1500 rating is much easier than progressing a new raid content on normal difficulty. lol

Comentado por Zozzed

For Part 1, Archmage Kalec is not yet present at Azurewing Repose until completing quest line Runas Sabe o Caminho

Comentado por Kitariel

I just cant see how to start this quest chain. I have completed all my class hall campaign.. I have not seen Kalec at all.

Comentado por Farstucker

For those on alts who didn't quest in Azsuna (to mix it up or for w/e reason)...

--> While doing this quest line, you will end up being directed to the Blue Dragonflight (at the end) which 'unlocks' this whole chain needed to start The Power Within / Balance of Power

I hope this helps :D

Comentado por thejokernodq

Well... Doing this quest at 40AK awards just a bit of Artifact Power... 160 million or so

I am stuck. I did not get credit for the quest "saving the moonguard" that is done right after the EN corrupted essences part.

Comentado por Dwarwen

Really want this achievement account bound.

Comentado por magnetgrrl

I cannot believe how long and incredibly difficult this quest line was and just for an artifact appearance! It took forever to get into the mythic dungeons, let alone enough Nighthold Normal groups to complete - even at iLvL over 890. :( By the time I completed this, the large AP item was kind of useless because I had been maxxed out on AP for weeks.

I don't mind expansive quest lines like this for an actual legendary. But for just making my existing item a different color - who cares.

i am trying to get to the quest balance of power. i have completed my class quests, and i am following the illidan quest line. i now have to get 40 lingering soul fragments, am i going in the right direction?

Is there an update to this now that the Nighthold is open ? Ive done the questline on one character and Ive finished on a second up to the point where you await the opening of the Nighthold, however it's now open and i can not find the Archmage anywhere

Need to add that you need to be Revered with the Valarjar for Part 14.

I wish this quest would be doable in lfr now,that both of the raids EN and NH are no longer current tiers. but i quess i will do them once they are soloable.

I know that they got rid of the rep grind for the Suramar questline, but they should have also gotten rid of the rep grind for the Balance of Power questline. What's the point of getting rid of the rep grind for Suramar if we still have to do rep grind for Balance of Power?

Comentado por Floge

I just cannot figure out why I am not receiving this quest. I have done all the storylines in Azsuna. Done all quests in my order hall. Done all class quests. Still not receiving this quest line.

Comentado por Premeditated

Is there a script to run to see what steps have been completed?

Comentado por DraethDarkstar

There are several tertiary requirements that you'll need to meet to be able to progress along the Balance of Power quest chain at various points. You can and should work towards completing these as soon as possible if you want to complete the quest chain quickly. If you wait to pursue these objectives until you're forced to by a quest, you'll increase your total time required to complete this chain significantly, as, especially in the case of Reputations, progression is time gated.In the order they become relevant, they are:

Earn Revered Reputation with the Valarjares to prove your worth to Eyir and receive the Mark of the Valkyra for A marca in Stormheim. This is the last tertiary objective you'll need to complete, and is required before you can progress the Stormheim portion of the quest chain.

We could really use some catch-up mechanics regarding artifact skins...

Well this sucks for those of us who don't have a guild to do mythics with.

Comentado por illestrate

If you boosted your Paladin to 110 like me and your goal is to get the 3rd Relic Skin unlocked it can be kind of frustrating. By completing all your Class Hall quests you get Kalec to appear after a day or so. To actually aid "Senegos" for the Power Within you must finish all the Azure Wing Repose Quests. To start Azure Wing Repose you need to finish the Illidari Stand quests before hand. Unsure of the actual names of the quest but ... You can get these at Illidari Stand in Azsuna, there should be maybe 1 or 2 quest givers (Not Khadgar), from there you have to kill some demons, free some people trapped by demons, free a dragon "Stellagos", and then complete Dark Revelations by killing the Traitor. And then you can start Khadgar's Journey to the Repose.

It's getting ridiculous. I understand this was a way for them to guarantee people would be running ancient content the entire expansion but you have to cut people off at some point. There is no reason to require every single person to run through the entire Balance of Power quest line if they've done it already or two times or three times. Really silly.

Comentado por Hereisemi

I have the M+15 Achievement, but i dont have "Balance of Power" yet. Will I get the M+15 Skin if i unlock "Balance of Power" in BfA?

Comentado por Prophethood

This is the least alt friendly expansion ever made. When I finally decided to mess around with alts when Argus came out (I realized that 1 main for Legion was the smart way to go), it was incredibly frustrating re-doing all this old stuff I had done before while trying to maintain my main. This is just another time sink that feels really dumb to be doing all over again. And again. And again. And again.

I am dreading having to redo this entire thing all over again just for the skins on my DH. Isn't it enough that I have rank 86 on my sub rogue wep and cannot bring myself to grind 5 trillion AP for 87 because when I put any AP into it the bar doesn't even move?

Comentado por Vomitcomet

With AP gone, the greyed-out Heart of Zin-Azshari sells for 50g. :(Seems undervalued for the work that went into obtaining it.

I completed this last entire Part of the Questline in one single run today!

Previously you had to port out b4 Guldan and come back in after turning the quests in i finisehd all 20 shards, Millenia of Tome, Matrix Core and The Eye of Guldan which used to be a follow up quest if im not mistaken! I dropped the Eye of Guldan at the end and was able to turn all 3 Quests at once leading to the Artifact appearances. Guess it was tweaked to be easier now. Will try on my other alt soon, cuz i did it on 8+ chars before and never managed to get it in a single run like today

Comentado por KadajjWoW

If you are doing this chain AT LEVEL 120 released.. STOP IT.

The last quest of the chain requires a Artifact Weapon Equiped, and if you started leveling at BfA, you already destroyed your's...

I did that and only wasted my time.

Comentado por sniperorc

If you're doing this in BfA, this quest will work, as long as you have your artifact weapon equipped. If not, you'll be able to do everything but the last channeled spell, at which point you'll be told you have to have the artifact equipped.

The Moon Guard mages and Kalec were patient enough to keep the ritual up as I summoned up a Jeeves and got my Thas'dorah out of the bank. THEN, I could finish the channel and complete the quest.

Comentado por Kainser

Very easy to do in BFA, soloing everything except for the two raids is trivial and for them you just have to grab a few people in the group finder (spec is irrelevant) and they become extremely faceroll. Do mythic Nighthold so you get a shot at a bonus mount as well from gul'dan!

Comentado por Samaramon1

I know people hate this chain for alts, as did I back in Legion after doing it on my main. However, I just re-did it on an alt at 120 and it was far more enjoyable. I was able to solo all the mythic dungeons, and finding a group for the raids was instantaneous (plus you just zoom through them). Other than being a bit gated behind reputations and raid resets for certain items, this was nowhere near as bad of a grind at 120 as it was in its prime.

Comentado por grah75

For people that are starting this on new alt, all you need to do is finish your Order/Class Hall campaign and research Order/Class Hall upgrades (to point when you are able to wear 2 legendary items) and Kalec will appear in Order Hall. Just did this on 2 fresh alts. Haven't touched any of the Legion quests since i leveled them only by invasions. Hope this helps for people that are stuck/don't know how to start Balance of Power quest line. I would recommend clearing all quests in Azsuna since you will need honored status with Court of Farondis later in quest chain and also to be able to see Kalec in Azsuna.

Here is a link to all the BoP scripts considering the list I found, I couldn't copy anything off of it. This should be easier for everyone. The quests are in order and are all separated. I hope this helps everyone!

The reset timer seems to have been removed now. I gathered most of the books a year ago, and got the Black Rook Hold book today, and was able to turn it all in. I received the reward and used it, and the appearance was available.
